I am a relative noob to linux in general, admittedly most of my knowledge or experience in linux is a hodgepodge of miscellaneous things to fix what I have broken usually. Because of this I have found this same or similar problems on virtually every Debian/Ubuntu et al., board or forum I have seen. Seems its a really big issue that isn't just one port of the latest Debs. I had the same issue with the latest puppy linux from the live cd, and with all the tools and different utilities in it I got the same problem. I also read of a similar problem using Fedora, and Mandriva so perhaps its a source problem.
In my case, I had the idea to try the latest Debian stable "squeeze" and first had issues with it not writing grub2 at the install finish, then tried to go back to ubuntu only to have it take several tries to even install correctly. Ever since I have had various issues from faulty installations to undetected hardware and of course the networking card not connecting. To be honest at this point I am ready to wipe this drive and go with either a Gentoo or in the very least a non-Deb distro. I don't know but maybe its not even an actual linux issue at all. Microsoft comes out with a new OS and suddenly the most popular distros have a rash of issues ranging from serious to bothersome, and to this point no real fixes for the lions share of them. Very odd I had no problems with any Ubuntu/Deb distro beyond the random xorg/ATI issue, until I replaced windows xp (kept on a separate disk for the kids and wife) with windows 7. I'm smelling a MS rat but then thats me, I don't trust them at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635475 Title: [Maverick] Auto eth0 not working after latest package upgrade -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
